Right then after some trial and error:

You can add into the footer on the main bbpress forum page by editing the following file:

\wp-content\plugins\bbpress\templates\default\bbpress\content-archive-forum.php

Just add whatever you need where I have put <p>Example text here</p> on the following code

<?php endif; ?>
<p>Example text here</p>
<?php do_action( 'bbp_template_after_forums_index' ); ?>
</div>

Hope this helps others who need this advice!

Regards,

Gareth

@schwarzkopfclub Thanks you have been a legend and set me well on my way. Also gave me the terms to google and find a plugin that will help generally also:

What The File is the best tool to find out what template parts are used to display the page you’re currently viewing!:

https://wordpress.org/plugins/what-the-file/

Also on the codex:

Getting Started in Modifying the Main bbPress Template

Thanks again,

Hello,
I have a problem with bbpress.
a couple of days ago a problem started with making accounts on my site.
When a new user is making an account he receives an e-mail with an activation link in that mail.
When he clicks that mail he is comming on a page with an box where he needs to add an activation code.
But in the mail there is no activation code. only a link like: http://website.nl/activate/79d6b96dbaaf352d993dafae852f9b26/

So looks like the account should be activated direct from that link but this is not working.
Also when i enter the code 79d6b96dbaaf352d993dafae852f9b26 again in the field where is aked for activation code this is not working.
So people can not make new accounts at this moment on my website.
Who can help me solve this?

Kind regards

Daniel

latest wordpress and bbpress version installed

sry for the double post

so this is what i found:

The problems seems to be that the links are generated wrong:

how it is right now on my site

http://www.website.com/forums/forum/newforum/

but it should be

http://www.website.com/forums/forum/category/newforum/

so for some odd reason, bbpress is missing the link between the category and the new created forum

[raphque]

I have a site in 3 languages, made with the Enfold theme and the WPML plugin.
English: hidden
French: default
Dutch

In the footer widget area of the theme, I added the bbPress “Recent Topics” widget, and it is only showing in the French site. In the Dutch site, the footer widget area is empty.
This also happens in sidebars.
Other (bbPress) widgets work perfectly in both languages.

What can I do to solve this? Where can I find the code to change it?

I’m using WordPress 4.4, bbpress 2.5.8 & WPML 3.3.3

[FliP0x]

That is exactly what I meant. Dots are where I put actual spaces in the text.
Not sure if it is due to a plugin. It does not work on this bbpress support forum either.

Hi,

Can anyone tell me where I can find the footer of bbpress please so I can add html text at the base across the whole of the bbpress forums and pages etc.

Can’t find it and looked for footer.php?

Regards,

Gareth

Did you copy any bbPress files into a child theme ?
Are you using any GD tools ?

(just putting some questions, trying to guess…)

[Pascal Casier]

You have somewhere entered in the wordpress or bbPress settings a ‘/index.php’ that should not be there according to me !

[Pascal Casier]

Hi,
What plugins are you using concerning user roles or for bbPress ? I know of at least 1 bbPress plugin that has issues with the new WP 4.4
Pascal.

[redblacked]

yes,

auto connect “wp-admin.php” when bbpress is login failed.

i want redirect it.

[Chappers39]

Hi Guys
I presume that this was not fixed as I too have the same issue and am using Avada

Frustrating especially as Avada recommended BBpress

[Robkk]

Updating to the most recent version of bbPress might solve this issue??

If you want to, backup your site then update bbPress to see if it fixes that.

[Robkk]

I copied the bbpress templates from the plugins folder into my themes folder

Yeah that works too, I just didn’t want to suggest that at first because of how custom the templates could be in your theme. Glad you got it sorted out. 🙂

[Robkk]

I cannot replicate this issue on the default single site installation of bbPress, or on multisite, using the bbPress forum index shortcode.

Glad you fixed it using a tool?? Do not know for sure what tool exactly you are talking about though.

[Robkk]

Wait do you want full width or with a sidebar??

Making Forum Width 100% in point

Does the bbPress wp tweaks sidebar work on a single forum or single topic page? It may not work if you placed the forum index shortcode in a custom page.

[Robkk]

Probably not a bbPress issue specifically, keeping watch though.

Hi,
I remember that people found this one a very nice child theme that was going towards phpBB : http://www.epicwebs.co.uk/bbpress-tutorials/bbpress-starter-theme/
Have a look if it can help, otherwise just get back here.
Pascal.

[Pascal Casier]

OK, as you have avada, could it be the same like here: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/post-count-incorrect-repair-tools-dont-fix-the-problem/ ?

[Pascal Casier]

Hi,
Some questions to you:
– You have 2900 replies, how do you know to what topic they relate to ?
– If you have 1400 topics and e.g. 5 forums, how do you know to what forum a topic belongs ?
– To show some stats, how do you know when a topic or forum was last changed ?
=> All answers are the same: It’s coming from the meta data of the posts. So this data really needs to be filled.

Please refer to the bbpress codex for custom imports (https://codex.bbpress.org/getting-started/importing-data/import-forums/custom-import/).
I think you will find what you need overthere, if not, give us a shout here again !

Pascal.

Hi all,

Thanks in advance for any help/advice you can provide! I am trying to migrate forum data from another platform (I believe it’s a homegrown ASP.net-based forum). I have all the data in spreadsheets/csv files and am trying to put together the SQL statements I need to move it into bbPress.

I put together a small test import (a single post to a single forum) for ‘wp_posts’ that looks like it mostly worked: the imported data is visible under Topics in the WordPress admin but it doesn’t show up when you browse to the Forum it’s assigned to on the front-end.

I noticed that when I create a topic in the traditional way (through the front-end) that it creates several entries in ‘wp_postmeta’ also (like _bbp_topic_id, _bbp_forum_id, _bbp_author_ip, _bbp_last_active_time, etc).

Does anyone know if it’s the absence of post meta for my imported data that’s causing it not to display on the front-end? If so, how much of this info is required?

I have 4300+ posts across 1400+ topics that need to be imported. Some of the post_meta data (like forum and topic id) will be easier for me to cross reference but other data (like reply_count, last_active_time, etc) would be a very manual process to try to include in my import.

Any suggestions or advice on the best way to get this data into my database?

[Chappers39]

Hi Guys

I am really new to all of this, I have installed BBpress on my site, I have a forum running and have managed to get some topics and replies etc, I have noticed that the post count is at zero (apart from mine) – is taht because i have not set up for them to register first?

Is there an easy fix to get the count working? If not to actually hide the count?

I have looked on some posts on this but do find them a little confussing, sorry

i am using avada if this makes a difference

many thanks Harrison

[gburak]

I copied the bbpress templates from the plugin folder into my themes folder.

And now they’re there!

Hi @casiepa – thanks, but I’m not asking about changing the upload size this time.

I just want to remove the notice that says ‘Maximum file size allowed’ (and surrounding yellow box) from the form.

I am still using GD-bbPress Attachments.

[Pascal Casier]

Hi,
What plugin are you using for the attachments ?
EDIT: Found this back, so I suppose you still use the same ? (https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/gd-bbpress-attachments-file-size-issue/)
